For one of the assignments this week I looked up an article about wearable technology. Originally I imaged some of the new fashion designs like Vega Wang Bioluminescent Couture (below), which feature creative lighting, LCD and EL Panels. However the article I found was Towards Washable Wearable Antennas: A Comparison of Coating Materials for Screen-Printed Textile-Based UHF RFID Tag. I then found a introduction to a more productive, needed and beneficial use of integrating technology into clothing. This was integrating (Radio frequency identification) RFID tags/antennas into clothing to enable monitoring for healthcare reasons. The goals of the tags are to be unobtrusive, durable/wear able and help patients from monitoring body temperature, breathing, to their overall well-being. Very inspirational and cool!
